May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
Mr. North was principal at Southgate Elementary when my late brother and I attended school there. He worked with our parents on many projects and was a good friend to our whole family. I'm sorry for your loss.
Not enough can be said about what a wonderful and kind man he was.
